1 Kings 14:12

10 therefore behold! ^aI will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and ^bwill cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, ^cbond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone.

11 The dogs shall eat ^awhoever belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field; for the Lord has spoken!” ’

12 Arise therefore, go to your own house. ^aWhen your feet enter the city, the child shall die.

13 And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave, because in him ^athere is found something good toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

14 ^a“Moreover the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; this is the day. What? Even now!

the child shall die—The death and general lamentation felt through the country at the loss of the prince were also predicted. The reason for the profound regret shown at his death arose, according to Jewish writers, from his being decidedly opposed to the erection of the golden calves, and using his influence with his father to allow his subjects the free privilege of going to worship in Jerusalem.
